- release-image.sh now defaults to alpha (was stable). Active dev no longer silently advances :stable; that tag only moves on a deliberate `sh release-image.sh <ver> stable`. Same cascade logic, reordered default. Updated AGENTS.md and zddc/README.md sections accordingly. - zddc/Containerfile: dropped the "see .woodpecker.yml" comment since that file no longer exists; pointed the docs to release-image.sh. - build.sh: dropped the "CI builds the runtime container directly" parenthetical; the cross-compiled host-binaries build is the only thing that step actually produces. Why alpha as the default: caught it during active development — :stable kept advancing every release because the script defaulted there. Solo workflow + alpha default = `:stable` is a deliberate gesture, not a side-effect. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Zero Day Document Control (ZDDC)
The Universal Distributed Filing Cabinet
ZDDC is an information management convention plus a small set of single-file HTML tools. Every deliverable's filename encodes its tracking number, revision, status, and title; every transmittal folder is date-prefixed and self-describing. A plain shared folder becomes a fully searchable, auditable archive — no server, no database, no software required to read it.
The name "Zero Day Document Control" comes from the convention itself — adopt it on day zero of a project, with no setup time. The tools are optional interfaces around the structure; the structure works without them.
For end users: https://zddc.varasys.io/ introduces the project, links to all tool channels (stable / beta / alpha), and offers
install.zipfor self-hosted deployments.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Archive Browser | Browse, search, and filter a project archive folder. Group by transmittal, export selections as ZIP. |
| Transmittal Creator | Self-contained HTML transmittal records with SHA-256 checksums and optional digital signatures. |
| Document Classifier | Spreadsheet-like bulk-renamer that copy/pastes with Excel and writes back to disk. |
| Markdown Editor | Browser-based markdown editor with YAML front matter, TOC, and direct local file access. |
Each tool is published in three channels (stable, beta, alpha) at https://zddc.varasys.io/releases/<tool>_<channel>.html. Append ?v=alpha (or ?v=0.0.4, etc.) to any URL to switch versions for one request. See bootstrap/README.md for the install / pin / audit story.
File-naming convention
The full specification — filename format, tracking numbers, revision rules, status codes, folder naming, and the transmittal workflow — lives at https://zddc.varasys.io/reference.html.

Build & develop
git clone https://codeberg.org/VARASYS/ZDDC.git && cd ZDDC
sh build.sh # build all tools (writes to dist/ only)
sh archive/build.sh # build one tool
sh archive/build.sh --release # cut stable; auto-bumps patch from last tag
sh archive/build.sh --release 0.1.0 # explicit version
sh archive/build.sh --release alpha # cut alpha (mutable channel, no tag)
sh archive/build.sh --release beta # cut beta
npm install && npx playwright install chromium && npm test # tests
./dev-server start # cache-busting HTTP on :8000
Authoritative build/release docs are in AGENTS.md. Architecture notes (single-file rationale, JS module pattern, security model) are in ARCHITECTURE.md. zddc-server (optional Go HTTP server with ACL and a virtual archive index) is in zddc/README.md.
